It looks like we're having another contest around here.
This time around, an ASCII art rpg with a character party technical requirement.
How long do you think that the contest should be for?_________________Principal Software Architect

I am fine with a month contest; I chose a week; but after thinking about it more, a month would be better. I wish I could change my vote :P_________________Principal Software Architect

Question: is the use of non-ASCII characters allowed? Because I really want to use kanji. Also, ASCII art doesn't preclude the use of graphical effects, right?

I'm fine with kanji characters.
I'm also fine with graphical effects, and even mild use of graphics such as enemy sprites and menus._________________Principal Software Architect
